I want to help lead the charge on issues that impact senior living--especially Assisted Living.

I have experience on Capitol Hill, the State House and with city councils--I've lobbied for senior living and other issues at all levels. My husband is a former state legislator which has given me insight on navigating the Capitol. I would be honored to serve alongside other senior living professionals and advance the causes that will positively impact the lives of seniors.

Kelly Jensen
Executive Director
Capitol Hill Senior Living
I received my bachelors degree in chemistry, biology, and health promotion from Weber State University and went on to receive my MBA with an emphasis in healthcare administration at Western Governors University. I have worked in healthcare for 13 years and started in senior living several years ago as a sales director. During my time as a sales director, I fell in love with the industry because of the chance to serve the greatest generation. That love is the reason I chose a career in assisted living. My passion for improving the lives of seniors drove me to become an executive director, where I felt I could be more impactful on those around me. This desire to be more impactful was the reason I have loved serving on the UALA board for the last two years. It has been an amazing experience to serve and brush shoulders with so many heroes in the face of COVID-19, staffing crisis', and the every changing industry. I would be honored to serve a second term with this amazing UALA team.
